Recently I've thought that my machines take too long to boot. I've been having a look at the boot times. Here's one that I think is excessive:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rcS.d#time . ./S50hwclock.sh Local time: Sun Oct 11 04:11:43 EST 1998 real 0m7.643s user 0m5.710s sys 0m1.940s 8 seconds to run 2 hwclock commands is IMHO too much as hwclock isn't doing anything (the /etc/adjtime file contains "0.0 0 0.0"). Is there some reason that this command needs to take so long? -- Got no future, got no past. Here today, built to last.
